TAMPA - In an Orlando television interview, Gov. Charlie Crist told an interviewer he would have voted for the health care reform plan proposed by the Obama administration — a dizzying reversal of his previous position — but then retracted the comment, saying he misspoke.

In an interview with Scott Harris of CFLN in Orlando, asked about the health care bill, Crist said, "I would have voted for it but I think it can be done better, I really do."

That reverses Crist's position, stated on his web site, plus other past comments including his support of Attorney General Bill McCollum's lawsuit against the health care legislation.
